contents We present our updated results on the intrinsic width of the profile of the flux tube in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group. We identify the intrinsic width as the characteristic length scale of the exponentially decaying tails of the profile of the flux tube. Inspecting a broad range of temperature, we check that this length does not depend on the length of the flux tube. Our estimations of the intrinsic width show a constant value at low temperature and a growing trend approaching the deconfinement temperature that can be understood from the universality class of the phase transition via the Svetitsky-Yaffe mapping.
